A very distinguished man sporting a bushy white beard appeared from the crowd and began showing his own tricks (pictured here). A hushed whisper ran around the many international performers present: \u201clook, it\u2019s Singmaster\u201d. We had only heard the name in connection with Rubik Cubes, and a reputed largest collection of puzzles in the world. It happened that David was a regular visitor to Ireland as his wife Deborah was Irish. The following year for Maths Week Ireland, we invited David over to give a talk <em>on \u201cA Historical Tour of Recreational Mathematics, Through Binary Recreations and Hamiltonian Circuits\u201d<\/em> at the famous Chester Beatty Library in Dublin.<\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p>He was delayed and rang from Heathrow to say he missed his flight. He was determined to come and give his talk and arrived in a taxi directly from the airport, only a few minutes late. He immediately commenced his presentation and won over the audience in minutes with his affable style and expert knowledge. After the talk he explained that he took ill in Heathrow airport and was advised not to travel. In the hotel the next morning at breakfast with other presenters and organisers, he had another turn. While we were on the verge of panic, he was his calm, cheerful self. At the Emergency Room, he produced puzzles and entertained both medical staff and patients. He also told them all to attend Maths Week Ireland events. We were relieved when Deborah arrived from London that evening and he began to recover.<\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p>It was a joy to meet David at G4Gs and other events over the years. At the recent European Recreational Mathematics Colloquium \/ G4G Europe he was mentioned by many. We send our sincere condolences Deborah and Jessica. He will be long and fondly remembered in the recreational mathematics community. As we say in Ireland \u2013 N\u00ed bheidh a leith\u00e9id ann ar\u00eds \u2013 we\u2019ll never see his likes again!<\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p class=\"last-child\"><strong>\u2013 Eoin Gill & Sheila Donegan <\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ff7b00;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"background-color:#ff7b00\" role=\"presentation\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"min-width:100%;border-top:55px solid transparent\" valign=\"top\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"158\" style=\"width:158px;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/dim.mcusercontent.com\/cs\/1e4c696c230483f91e7da02d5\/images\/9a2f5265-5410-7063-7552-da50b7cdc4d2.png?w=158&dpr=2\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"imageDropZone\"\/><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:transparent;padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"background-color:transparent\" role=\"presentation\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"min-width:100%;border-top:20px solid transparent\" valign=\"top\"><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div class=\"mceText\" style=\"width:100%;font-size:16px\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color:#1F4E79;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt\"><span>DCBEAGLE<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt\"><span> CHALLENGES =<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt\"><span>BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt\"><span>March 2023<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"last-child\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\"><span>Douglas Buchanan ~ dcbeagleb@gmail.com ~ <\/span><\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dcbeagle.com\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\"><span>www.dcbeagle.com<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt\"><span> ~ @dcbeagle1<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding-top:12px;padding-bottom:12px;padding-right:24px;padding-left:24px\" class=\"mceBlockContainer\" valign=\"top\"><div class=\"mceText\" style=\"width:100%;font-size:16px\"><p><br\/><\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt\">BEYOND THE TEXTBOOK \u2013 MARCH 2023<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Inspiration comes in all forms<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">People ask me why I continue with my maths challenge programme when I could have a quiet life and do things for myself.

Subtract? Multiply? Find the average? Create a word problem? Count the items\u201d?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Briefing the parents before giving the URL of this website will enhance the objective.<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Puzzle solution<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Make a rough sketch like our diagram and use five counters marked X, L, R, A, and B. The engines are Land R, and the two cars on the right A and B. The three cars on the left are never separated, so we call them X. The sidetrack is marked S. Now, play as follows: R to left, R to S, XL to right, R to left, XLA to left, L takes A to S, L to left, XL to right, R to A, RA to left, XLB to left, L takes B to S, L to left, LX right away, RA to B, RAB right away. Fourteen moves, because the first and third moves (R to left and XL to right) do not involve a change of direction. It cannot be done in fewer moves.<\/span><\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">Final words<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p><br\/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt\">More games
